Type of training: Swimming

Swimming is one of the most complete types of training available, combining cardiovascular work, muscle strengthening and low impact on the joints. Suitable for all ages and fitness levels, this sport can be practiced both recreationally and competitively, providing multiple benefits for health and well-being.

Benefits of Swimming

1. Complete muscle work – Swimming engages all major muscle groups, including legs, arms, back and core, helping to build strength and endurance.
2. Low impact – When performed in water, swimming reduces the load on joints, making it ideal for people with musculoskeletal problems or recovering from injuries.
3. Cardiovascular improvement – ​​Training in water helps to strengthen the heart and lungs, promoting greater efficiency of the cardiorespiratory system.
4. Increased flexibility – The fluid movements and resistance of the water promote range of motion and joint mobility.
5. Stress reduction – Like other aerobic exercises, swimming helps produce endorphins, reducing stress and improving mental well-being.

Types of Swimming Training

• Resistance training : Prolonged sessions at a moderate pace to improve aerobic capacity and muscular endurance.
• Speed ​​training : Short, intense sprints to develop power and technique.
• Technique training : Focus on movement efficiency, including improving stroke, kicking and turns.
• Interval training : Alternating between quick series and recovery moments to optimize cardiorespiratory capacity.
• Strength training in water : Equipment such as boards, pull buoys or paddles are used to increase resistance and develop muscular strength.

Tips to Improve Swimming Performance

1. Maintain good posture – The position of your body in the water influences the efficiency of your movements.
2. Regulate your breathing – Inhaling and exhaling correctly improves endurance and reduces fatigue.
3. Vary the styles – Practicing different styles (crawl, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly) helps develop diverse skills.
4. Use proper equipment – ​​Caps, goggles and fitted swimsuits improve comfort and performance.
5. Include training outside the water – Strengthening your core and mobility outside the pool enhances results in the water.
